The National Firefighter Registry is Back Online

May 27, 2025

The National Firefighter Registry (NFR) for Cancer is once again open for enrollment. Earlier this year, staffing cuts at NIOSH disrupted several key firefighter health programs, including the NFR. The NVFC responded quickly by meeting with lawmakers, issuing an action alert, and joining other fire service organizations in urging Congress to restore these critical initiatives. The NFR plays a vital role in helping researchers better understand and reduce cancer risk in the fire service. Sign up today at NFR.cdc.gov.
